cobbler_sync – Sync Cobbler

New in version 2.7.

Synopsis

• Sync Cobbler to commit changes.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
host -	Default: "127.0.0.1"	The name or IP address of the Cobbler system.
password - / required		The password to log in to Cobbler.
port -		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username -	Default: "cobbler"	The username to log in to Cobbler.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Notes

Note

• Concurrently syncing Cobbler is bound to fail with weird errors.

• On python 2.7.8 and older (i.e. on RHEL7) you may need to tweak the python behaviour to disable certificate validation. More information at Certificate verification in Python standard library HTTP clients.
